of Typographical Union No. 6 tonight,
called for the purpose OF deciding whether
the strike should be continued against

Christma. Eye-Germapy

Little mother, why must you gol
The children play by the white bedside,
The world is merry for Christmas tide!
And what would you do in the failing snowl
They sleep by in the ember-elow
flushed to dream in a child's delight,
Nor wonders happen on Christmas night:
Little mother, why must you go!
The still flakes fall and the night grows late,
Oh slender figure and small wet feet,
Where do you haste through the lamp-lit street,
And out and away by the fortress gatel
It is drear and chill where the dear lie dead,
Yet light enough with the snow to see,
But what would you do with that Christmas tree
At the tiny mound that is baby's bed2
A Christmas tree with its tinsel Rold-
Oh, how should not have q thought for thee
When the children sleep in their dream of glee,
Poor little grave but a twelvemonth old
Little mother, your heart is brave,
You kiss the cross in the drifted snow,
kneel for moment, rise ard go
And leave your tree by the tiny grave.
While the living slept by the warm fireside
And the flakes fell white your Christmas toy
think that its angel wept for Joy
Because you remembered the one that died.

know that. although Whittier ordinarily wears

Immortality.

/ trace my footsteps thro the Halls of Time,
Whose deepening entrance, crumbling, yet sublime,
Leads space, SO vacant, void and vast;
In vain pierce the shadows of the past
All Life ia gone. Nights sable darkness nils
Each endless chamber, torAbed with joys and Ills,
Where earthly pilgrims, toiling, met their doom;
And alone walk slowly through the gloom.
No sound hear but echoes of the days
When Hope was young and vainly sought the bays.
1t scared in vain to snatch tn eternal prize
And sank Apollo's welcome sacrifice.
With heavy heart and faltering step pause
To think of those who strove for earth's applause
And firing stopped, again earth,
But wait in sleep the universal birth.
For one sought, a poet friend, dead,
Through whose young life the ever present dread
Was fear of death; who sank at last away
Like sweet flower that fades at close Of day.
To him at last. with Love for guide came
To where unconscious now he sleeps. nor Fame,
Nor Glory come and this it is thought !,
To live. to work, to struggle. and to die
Yet, as bordering stood a sweet. low note,
As tho new born from some fresh forest throat,
Stole thro the slenced gloom ard seemed to say:
There is death when Faith and Love hold sway"
A Light broke all the echoes rang
To tell again the Song the Poet sang.

A Christmas Legend.
The man in the moon has a merry old heart
In his land where the dream blossoms blow;
He losses and tumbes the poor trembling stars
And he sinks in the drifts of cloud snow,
Till only the tip of his red nose is
Like candle set out in the sky
To tighten the way for the three wandering men
Who pass earthward, when midnight draws nigh.
The man in the moon country catches star
Just lost baby star-to his breast,
That has strayed from its home down the milky way
When it should be at sleep in it's
He bushes its sobs with low. tender tone.
And he murmurs soft lullaby,
That tells how the wise go wandering past,
Through the star beams, when midnight draws Nigh
He tells how they pass with their glances close bent
On SCOT of the musty old earth,
Where Mary once lay with a child in her arms
And the stars singing joy to his birth.
They wander forever anG ever In grief,
Through the fields there the dream lilies lie
Awaiting the touch of celestial feet,
That pass earthward when midnight draws nigh.
For once in the year, when the joy bells of earth
Chime their message of peace and good will,
The wise kneel down where the manger once
stood
With the star hanging IL still;
And then, as they kneel there angel appears
And ne leads where a white CLEANS high,
With Mary S child lying asleep at its foot
so the moon sings when midnight is nigh.

The Poet sings of ''Christmas-tide,"
OF good will and of ''peace:"
OF 10y that will for aye abide"
OF 'tautumn's fat increase"
The Poet sings of Times decay"
OF .love that will not die;''
Of buds that bloom and blow in May"
Of winters sullen sky"
The Poet sings of ''hopes that fade."
OF thoughts of broken heart"
OF ''direful havoc blue eyes made"
OF "Cupid's glistening dart"
The Poet sings with witchery
OF things both new and hoar;
OF anything he thinks may be
OF use to the editor.
The Poet drains his thinker dry
OF thoughts 70 giee and chime,
OF schemes to build the carol by,
OF words that fit and rhyme.
The Poet will forever sing,
In verse and rhyme intense;
But the days are cold when poems bring
Financial recompense.
